When receiving PRs to my #Clojure projects, I sometimes find that I want a different approach to the one that the submitter has written. Sometimes I can explain what I want; other times I find it easier to rewrite parts of the submitted code. There's a parallel between this and using an LLM to […]

I've recently been working with a large, legacy codebase written in an older language with very limited capabilities. It's in this case that I've found LLMs to be extraordinarily useful in handling the tedious work involved. But it's also got me thinking about why I haven't found the need to […]

I've been recently finding LLMs (specifically Claude Sonnet and Opus) to be quite useful for debugging; either as a more sophisticated linter for spotting trivial mistakes, or for tracking down difficult race conditions or segfaults that require methodical (but lengthy) work. My rule of thumb […]

While dealing with updating an old MySQL database, I've learned that versions 8.0.0, 8.0.1 and 8.0.2 were the *beta* versions of MySQL 8.0, 8.0.3 and 8.0.4 were the RCs, and then they skipped straight to 8.0.11 for the first stable version.

I've been testing out Claude as a debugging aid recently. It's pretty good at catching basic mistakes or typos, and has been able to suggest leads on some thorny race conditions and performance issues. However, it's also made a number of errors itself - it's not a substitute for thinking […]

Three-finger scrolling in #paperwm is broken on Gnome 49, so I've been trying out the #niri window manager with dms as an alternative. So far it feels snappy and polished - I'm very impressed! My only real complaint is that it lacks an option to turn off window snapping when scrolling.

I've used Spacemacs for some years now as my primary editor, but recently I've been looking into #neovim. It starts up a lot quicker, even with a bunch of plugins, and surprisingly for a terminal editor it has a more sophisticated UI than windowed Emacs.

I experimented with using Copilot with ChatGPT 5 to do some analysis and refactoring, to get an idea of what state of the art was. It managed some simple improvements, but still made errors that had to be manually corrected, such as not replacing all calls for a function it moved around.

It didn't have a consistent style or good organisational skills, and […]
